On a sunny weekend afternoon, Mo Yanyu's home was indeed a bustling scene. Light streamed through the kitchen window onto the clean countertops, filling the space with the warmth of home and the joy of an upcoming gathering. Mo Yanyu was wearing his favorite crisp white shirt, with the sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms, exuding both ease and elegance.
He moved back and forth in the kitchen, his actions revealing an unmistakable professionalism. He used a ladle to turn the chicken legs in the oven, ensuring they were evenly heated, their golden skin shimmering in the light and emitting an enticing aroma. At the same time, he gently stirred the pot of rich mushroom cream soup, with a delicate layer of cream and fresh mushroom slices floating on the surface, releasing a mouthwatering fragrance as he stirred.
His face always maintains a calm and focused expression, as if conducting a precise scientific experiment. Even in cooking, Mo Yanyu pursues accuracy and perfection, and this personality trait is reflected in every action he takes.
Suddenly, he stops his movements, as if he has thought of something, and turns to open the refrigerator, taking out some fresh vegetables and fruits. He decides to make another salad, adding a touch of freshness to today's menu. He quickly washes the vegetables, then skillfully cuts them into bite-sized pieces, with each cut being considered perfect. Then, he picks up a lemon, gently rolls it on the cutting board, and then splits it in half, squeezing out fresh lemon juice and sprinkling it on the salad, adding a hint of sweetness and vitality to the dish.
Throughout the entire process, Mo Yanyu hardly made any sound. His focus and precision made the preparation unusually smooth. Under his skillful hands, each dish came to life, not only in appearance and aroma, but also carrying his love for his friends and anticipation for the gathering.
Finally, when all the preparations were ready, Mo Yanyu relaxed slightly. Leaning on the kitchen counter, he let out a gentle sigh and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Star is in the living room, holding colorful crayons, and drawing seriously on a large piece of paper. Her canvas depicts her expectations for the upcoming family gathering - a big smiley face surrounded by colorful balloons and ribbons. Every stroke she makes is filled with the innocence of a child and love for her family.
"Uncle Mo, do you think my drawing is good?" Star looks up, her eyes shining with hopeful anticipation, seeking Mo Yanyu's approval.
Mo Yanyu wiped his hands and walked over, bending down to admire the painting of stars. "It's very beautiful, the stars. This is the symbol of our gathering today, filled with happiness and laughter," he said in a gentle tone, his eyes full of encouragement.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and Mo Yanyu quickly straightened his clothes and walked towards the door. In the instant the door opened, a warm smile and a familiar face greeted him, bringing laughter and joy to what was originally a quiet afternoon.
First to walk in was Sophia, carrying an exquisite gift box and a large plate of her homemade baked desserts. "Look at what I've brought this time!" Sophia said excitedly as she placed the gift and desserts on the dining table, her remarkably efficient actions and optimistic energy immediately enlivening the atmosphere.
Following her, Li Dajie entered with his homemade fruit salad, his warm smile always making people feel close to him. "I know everyone likes healthy food, so I prepared this especially for today." He placed the colorful fruit salad on the table, earning praises from everyone.
Zhou Xiaoqing walked into the room gracefully, holding a hand-knitted scarf as a gift. "This is a craft I recently learned, I hope you will like it," she said in a gentle voice, each word conveying care and warmth.
Mo Yanyu welcomed them into the house and guided them to sit down. Star also ran over, circling around the guests and greeting each person in her innocent and lively manner.
"Sophia Auntie, your hair looks so beautiful today!" Star's eyes sparkled with innocence.
Sophia smiled and bent down to meet Star's gaze. "Thank you, Star. You look especially cute today too!" Her response was full of humor and warmth.
Li Dajie also joined their conversation, "Xingxing, guess what fruits are in my fruit salad?" He teased Xingxing gently, trying to pique her curiosity.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xiaoqing observed everything gently. She occasionally interjected, but most of the time, she chose to enjoy this family-like warmth in a gentle way.
During the gathering, Mo Yanyu may not speak much, but he always provides help at critical moments or listens quietly. Every one of his actions seems so thoughtful and considerate. Beneath his cool exterior, he hides a deep love for this small family.
Everyone sits around, sharing the delicious food and interesting stories they brought, and the air is filled with a happy and warm atmosphere. This family gathering is not just a reunion of relatives and friends, but also a moment to share joy and warmth. Every person's face is filled with a happy smile, and at this moment, they are all an indispensable part of this big family.
At the dining table, laughter and conversation filled the air, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Everyone was enjoying the warmth from family and friends, where food was not just a delight for the taste buds, but also a comfort for the soul.
After the meal, the atmosphere in the living room became even more relaxed and pleasant. Mo Yanyu made some slight adjustments to the lighting in the house, creating a warm and subtle stage effect for the upcoming talent show. Xingxing had been eagerly awaiting this segment, her eyes shining with anticipation.
When Mo Yanyu announced the start of the talent show performance, Star was almost the first to leap onto the "stage." She stood in the center of the living room, took a deep breath, and then began her little dance to the rhythm of the music. Although her movements still seemed a bit awkward, with occasional hesitation, it did not affect her confidence and joy in performing at all. Whenever she turned or smiled, one could feel her pure joy, filling the entire living room with her laughter and dance steps.
"Great job, Star!" Sophia applauded first, and her applause led everyone present to join in, filling the living room with applause and cheers.
Next is Sophia's performance time. She took out her pre-prepared violin, gently adjusted the strings, and then began her solo. Sophia's violin skills were excellent, and the melodious sound of the violin echoed in the room, at times soaring and passionate, at other times deep and emotional, as if telling one moving story after another. Everyone was drawn in by this wonderful music, listening with rapt attention.
Li Dajie's performance brought some surprises. He prepared a simple parent-child magic show, inviting his child, Xingxing, as his little assistant. His relaxed and humorous performance style enlivened the atmosphere, and the dazzling magic tricks surprised everyone, especially when he successfully "pulled out" a colorful ribbon from behind Xingxing's ear, Xingxing's astonished little face and joyful screams became a highlight of the gathering.
Zhou Xiaoqing did not prepare a specific talent performance, but she participated in a more relaxed manner, sometimes dancing with the stars, sometimes assisting Li Dajie in magic tricks. Her enthusiasm and thoughtfulness made this family gathering even warmer.
As each performance ended, the family gathering reached its climax. Laughter and cheers intertwined, creating heartwarming and joyful scenes. Mo Yanyu stood on the side, watching everything, feeling full of happiness.
In the evening, as the guests bid farewell one by one, Mo Yanyu stood at the door, bidding goodbye to each friend, feeling grateful in his heart. When he returned to the living room, he saw that Xingxing was already sitting wearily on the sofa, a sweet smile still on her little face.
"Uncle Mo, I had a really great time today," Xingxing said softly, yawning.
Mo Yanyu gently touched her head, "Yes, Xingxing, I'm very happy today. Come, let's go to sleep."
He gently picked up Xingxing, walked into the cozy bedroom, and gently placed her on the bed, covering her with a blanket. Watching Xingxing gradually close her eyes, Mo Yanyu felt peaceful in his heart.
Mo Yanyu Turn off the bedroom light, walk out of the room, and the living room still retains the warmth of the gathering. He stands in front of the window, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, silently making a wish in his heart: hoping that in the days to come, he can bring more happiness to the stars, and make her life forever bright like this starry sky.
